Elevated homocysteine as an independent risk for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.
Article in Aging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To investigate the association of homocysteine concentration with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), we assessed 933 acute ischemic stroke patients (346 with ICAS, 587 without ICAS) and 798 non-stroke controls (175 with ICAS, 623 without ICAS) with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Homocysteine concentration was found to be significantly higher in participants with ICAS than those without ICAS. In logistic regression analyses, homocysteine concentration was significantly associated with ICAS both in patients (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.01-1.08; P=0.008) and controls (OR: 1.10; 95% CI: 1.06-1.15; P<0.001) for 1 μmol/L increment in homocysteine. Compared with the lowest quartile, the second (OR:1.53; 95% CI: 1.01-2.33), third (OR:1.71; 95% CI: 1.14 -2.60) and fourth (OR:2.48; 95%CI: 1.63-3.81) quartiles were independent predictors of ICAS in patients (P for trend<0.001); the third (OR:1.99; 95% CI: 1.18-3.40) and fourth (OR:2.36; 95%CI: 1.38-4.10) quartiles were independent predictors of ICAS in controls (P for trend<0.001). Hence, elevated homocysteine might be an independent risk for ICAS.
